BECOMING UNPOPULAR
M“»o Syllivan, one of the bettei
known political analysts writing on
this subject recently, said:
“If Mr. Roosevelt wants to escape
the menace of Senator Long let him
abandon that presidential attitude
which Mr. Walter Lippman called
’punitive and terroristic attacks on
private busmess.’_H
If this sentiment is impressed upoi
congress more and it can be inducec.
to pass accessary legislation and ad

inevitable. Dropping such legislative
proposals as the 30-hour week, the
Wagner Labor Board bill to put or

sucii measures which keep business
upset would be a stimulant to recov-

is less stean) behind the Administra
tion's drive for reforms at this ses
sion of Congress and more emphasi:
on recovery, why sound Democratic
thinkers at the Capitol are warnin*
against "leftist” legislation, why the
"Brain Trust” has been more or less
isolated.
Their schemes were al»
right so loog as the United 8tates was
drifting in the land of fantasy. Now,
despite Coughlin and Long and the
others, there are definite indications
that the people are tired of playing
with trick legislative panaceas and
want sound doctrines which have led
to recovery in the past. Social re«-
forms can wait.
STATE HOUSE GOSSIP
(By Ernest L. Gray)
While Governor Martin took a
much deserved four-day vacation af
ter he had killed more than five per
cent of the bills passed by the legisla
ture with his mighty veto pen, specu
lation was again rife ag_ UK «hat
change he would make upon His re
turn to the capitol the first of this
week. But our guess is little will be
done at the moment.
Even should the governor begin at
once to place men of his own choice
in administrative seats. It was pre
dicted the major changes he would
make could be counted on the fingers
of both hands Other than board of
control changes, there are few others
remaining which would be altered by
the governor alone.

called Orange Power bill, which
eventually would put many of the
private utilities out of business, .the
state tax commission issued at state

roads in Oregon pay nearly seven
million dollars taxes a year to main
tain governments This is 17 per cent
of all taxes paid, or one-sixth.
As the federal congress passed the
largest single appropriation measure
in the history of the world—the 84,-
800,000,000 relief bill—Oregon’s own
relief investigation got under way
and will continue for the next month.

has been declared among the best in

Complaints will
always be heard. What the investi
gation will accomplish, however,
would probably be recommendations
for a more thorough check on funds
so that the government could check
more readily.
The Oregon legislature should be
complimented upon what it did not
do.
For emphasis let’s rater to the
Washington legislature where the en
tire 66 day session appears as a egm

xpenditure of public funds.
